The arts nice but story is mid. Too many girls. Maybe one day I'll give it another try.

Good if you want to get your heart ripped out and stomped all over, only to get softly caressed at the end. One of my favourite BL ever but I don't think I could stomach rereading this. I wouldn't have survived this if it wasn't for the happy ending but there's so much hurt and so little comfort. Pls just give me 10 more seasons of them being happy, they deserve it. I'd pay for 50 chapters of just those two precious babies cooking some onions... This doesn't at all go the direction you think it will btw. Trust the process what the story looks like and what the story is are very different and not in a predictable way.

GIVE ME MORE Edit: It's still pretty good but some parts could be improved.

Concept is great, too little chapters to judge. Decent comedy and that's about it. Starts off on a training arc I guess because they wanted OP MC but didn't want reincarnation or established position. EDIT: Gets really good after he gets accepted and goes to civil servant boot camp, although he still hides his power to an extent. EDIT 2: Not digging the work arc as much. His team are all massive pricks, and even if he's strong for a newbie he's nowhere near the manager's level, and we all know nobody reads this to watch MC get his ass kicked. EDIT 3: They're trying to cash in on solo leveling demographic while writing black clover. No OP MC just him being treated like shit with a thought bubble sometimes about how he has potential. You've spread yourself out too thin bro pick one and stick to it.

Don't read, it's pretty bad. If you don't mind spoilers you might find out why in the incoming rant.
Ok so the start seems decent, Kyoji kinda treats Nagisa like trash but that's not super new for these kinds of stories. I would've preferred if they could pick between angst and fluff instead of swinging between them but whatever.

Next up I'll have to cover all the loose plot threads because one of these is so insane I have no idea how the fuck it happened. For the smaller ones we have: the bracelet nagisa insisted is super important and had kyoji wear one ep, only for us to never see it again. I thought it was a tracker so he could tell when kyoji's in danger but no he just follows him around to protect him?? I don't think kyoji even keeps wearing it after that one time. Also, the whole brother dead ex thing. They keep teasing him having something going on with his dead gf's brother but never actually elaborate. They just redo the first meeting like 5 times and call it a day. Why would they be having a "first" meeting so often? Of course because Ren wipes his memories each time. The only way you would know is if you paid close attention to the fact that the friend doesn't recognise him and the one time Ren has some random lightning around him and says something about having to do it. I honestly can't tell if they were aiming for a romance angle which is kinda ick considering their past relations or just setting up some drama where they talk about the girl but nothing ever happens. I'm sure there's more but you get the idea, and there's still a plot hole section left to go.
So last we're gonna bring up the elephant in the room. THE FRIEND. Oh god, the friend. I have to assume he's been silently retconned half way through because this just does not make sense. Did the author think people would just forget? He was a grade A creepy fucking stalker, he was stealing kyoji's shit, taking his used cup to lick the straw like a pervert, and getting touchy without consent. Yeah he literally grabbed him, refused to let go, and kissed him while kyoji was telling him no. Why isn't this guy in jail? And you wanna know the best part? After that last altercation they just keep acting like they're friends, they ignore everything that went down, no justice gets served. Not even in a "I forgive you" way which would suck too but they literally just never speak a word of it. I have to assume this fucker still has kyoji's bottle and other crap in his house. On top of all that guess what? Nagisa knew pretty much all of this, he knew something was up and kept warning nagisa, but HE ENDS UP THE ONE GETTING SCOLDED. No apology, no nothing. He was dead fucking right and yet he was the one facing consequences for daring to try and keep kyoji away from his dangerous stalker. And then later on the stalker is just randomly like "yeah I moved on haha lol". It makes my blood boil. He doesn't even become a good friend later on he still clearly isn't over it no matter what he says, always shitting on nagisa and talking about how special kyoji is. Then near the end he gives some shit advice to nagisa about listening to kyoji's feelings even though nagisa DID ask and was getting shut down. But no the story immediately decides he's right and nagisa thinks about how he shouldn't have pushed him when he never actually did. How did this make it past the first draft? I know 5 year olds that can write a plot more consistent than this.
I've already talked about a bunch of things that simply don't make sense but now I'm gonna cover the entire magic system because it's some bs. Basically more tails is meant to = more mana, except nagisa doesn't have any. Why? Fuck knows. Never elaborated on he's just built different. This wouldn't be such a big deal if it was a genetic thing and historically the people with more tails had more power but no as far as I can tell the tails are literally a physical manifestation of your power. This is because Ren with one tail has less magic, depsite both of his parents having a lot of tails. Initially I thought nagisa was just shit at using magic because of how incosistent the wording is, sometimes it's mana, sometimes it's magic, but no he supposedly doesn't have enough for ANY spell. So less than a one tail, he might as well be human.
This might sound nitpicky but there's a reason I explained that, and that's because it's vital to how the entire plot is structured. This single fact is what drives the conflict in this story. The main roadblock to their relationship is the lack of reliable travel between worlds, nagisa needs ren to open the portal for him, and ren only having one tail needs 3 weeks to be able to do this. Now fact of the matter is ren opens this damn portal all the time and it only matters when the author decides to make it but we can just assume that's down to weird time skips. So yeah there's no reason nagisa shouldn't be able to come and go as he pleases. On top of that the reason why Nagisa is meant to be the successor for the throne is his tails but he can't use magic anyway so isn't ren the better option? Like how is he any less embarassing as a king he got bullied for this shit so clearly people know. Then there's the war that breaks out in which they make nagisa come back to help and then refuse to let him fight because the crown prince needs to stay safe to take over the throne. Fam, why even bring him here then? He would've been safer in the human world. He's got no magic so it's not like he could protect the sick mom and even if he could she's gone to the human world and been fine, she coulda gone to visit him and be safer.
There's this rule that humans that go to the fox realm can't go back to the human world but they never really say why. I assumed it was some secrecy thing but it doesn't really seem like they allow humans period so why even have a rule for something that's not supposed to happen? Certainly not because they want to hide their existence from humans, memory erasing magic is a thing and even a one tail can use it so they can just wipe the memories of the fox world and bring them back whenever they feel like it. Why not let kyoji visit before deciding he wants to stay there? The king overturns this rule anyway so it's not like it was that important, and I doubt nagisa is so stupid he never heard of this super important sacred rule, and yet he was walking around outside with his ears and tail and didn't even know why that got him some stares.

So much stupid shit in this story, from the way the nagisa fox reveal to kyoji went to everything else. I could sit here for hours and explain why none of this adds up. So yeah please save yourself the time. If you're that curious about the trainwreck I'd rather get DM's asking me what happened instead of letting another poor innocent soul start this expecting something halfway decent. In the end I still gave 3 stars because I can't bring myself to completely hate it, but it squandered so much potential it hurts.

Pain incarnate. He's certainly OP but also trash at protecting people he cares about. Probably gonna commit genocide in the near future but I kinda just want him to settle down with a friend or something... EDIT: Such a disappointment, it had all the makings of something incredible and then squandered that potential. He loses his powers for a while, when he gets them back he still feels weaker, the plot with the steer struggles to maintain interest and momentum. EDIT 2: Not really worth reading The longer it goes on the more disappointed you'll end up being.
